Aberdeen Group on cloud-based ERP in wholesale and distribution

Place yourself in a position to succeed

For the last several years, the Aberdeen Group has been closely following trends in enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution deployment methods to help determine if cloud- or software as a service (SaaS)-based ERP solutions will ever overtake the traditional, on-premise model as the preferred deployment method.

Wholesalers and distributors are beginning to favor the cloud as their deployment model for ERP solutions. Why? Aberdeen's research finds that cloud solutions are particularly adept at providing visibility and collaboration capabilities across wide geographic networks. For example:

Those with cloud-based ERP solutions are 59% more likely than those with an on-premise solution to have real-time visibility into the status of all processes.

Those with cloud-based ERP solutions saw a 15% improvement in profit margins over the past 2 years, in comparison to an 8% improvement for those with on-premise solutions.

The results of selecting a cloud solution can be quite substantial. Download the report to find out more.
